Arrivals - VFR Approaches

The arrivals page also allows selection of a VFR approach if the navigation database contains a VFR approach for the selected runway.

1 RUNWAYS

Push - removes approach list and other runways. Displays RWY EXT prompt and VFR APPR prompt in line 2 if a VFR approach is in the navigation database.

The RUNWAYS list for other runways is shown if a runway is not selected. Example shows runway 32R selected. Change CDU to another page and return to ARRIVALS page to show all arrival procedures.

2 ROUTE

Push - shows the active route page.

3 VFR Approach (VFR APPR)

Push - makes a transition waypoint, FAXXX at 8 NM and 2000 feet above the runway.

Shown when a VFR approach is in navigation data base for selected runway.

LNAV and VNAV guidance to the runway is available.

4 Runway Extension (RWY EXT)

After VFR APPR is selected, RWY EXT can not be modified.

5 Flight Path Angle (FPA)

Shows flight path angle. Shown only after VFR APPR is selected.

Default is 3.0 degrees. Valid entries are from 2.4 to 3.7 degrees.

6 Runway Extension (RWY EXT)

Valid entries are from 1.0 to 25.0 miles from the runway threshold. Entry allowed if VFR APPR is not selected. Entry removes VFR APPR prompt. Example shows 6 NM entered.

Makes waypoint RXYYY, where YYY is the runway; example: RX32R. Makes a route discontinuity before and after the waypoint.

The VFR approach is a level path until the FPA is intercepted. The FPA goes from the FAXXX waypoint altitude to the runway threshold at 50 feet and 170 knots. Default values are shown in RWY EXT and FPA.
